Karnataka Raises Bus Fares, Bengaluru Minimum Trip Cost Rises to ₹10

The state transport department has lifted the minimum bus fare in Bengaluru from ₹8 to ₹10, effective from May 1. The move is part of a broader policy to adjust fares in line with rising operating costs. Operators will need to update their fare structures and inform passengers accordingly. The change is expected to affect daily commuters and short‑distance travelers across the city. The transport ministry has stated that the adjustment will be reviewed periodically.
